Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line, we first need to find the slope. To find a slope you need two ordered pairs, which you have here. The first is (5, 4) and the second is (3, 0) - which is the x-intercept of 3. Now that we have this, we can plug into the slope equation.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 0)/(5 - 3)

m = 4/2

m = 2

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form. Once we do that, we solve for y to get the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 2(x - 5)

y - 4 = 2x - 10

y = 2x - 6

Mario invests 1,500 in a savings account that earns 2% interest a year. He also plans to set aside $50 cash a month. A:2100(1.02

Answer:

<em>1500(1.02)^x + 600x</em> is how much he has in savings at the end of x years where it be in the bank or elsewhere

Step-by-step explanation:

x is in years

Let's just think about the investment of 1500 in an account earning 2% per year.

Before the years even start, you are at 1500 ( present value).

The next year (year 1), it would be 1500*.02+1500=(1500)(1.02).

The next year (year 2), it would be 1500(1.02)(.02)+1500(1.02)=1500(1.02)(1.02).

We keep multiplying factors of (1.02) each time.

So for year x, you would have saved 1500(1.02)^x.

Now we are saving 50 cash per month. Per year this would be 12(50) since there are 12 months in a year. 12(50)=600.

So the first year you would have 600.

The second year you would have 600(2) or 1200.

The third year you would have 600(3) or 1800.

Let's put this together:

1500(1.02)^x + 600x

$x = 11\frac{42}{99}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$11.42424242.... = 11. \overline{42} \\ let \: x = 11. \overline{42} .....(1)\\ 100x = 1142.\overline{42}....(2) \\ subtracting \: (1) \: from \: (2) \: \\ 100x - x = 1142.\overline{42} - 11. \overline{42} \\ 99x = 1131 \\ x = \frac{1131}{99} \\x = 11\frac{42}{99} \\$

Someone help plz tyyyy!

Answer:

When y=7,9 the answer is yes when it = -10,-8 the answer is no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution gets us the resulting values. for y=7 we get $15\geq 15$ which is true. For y=9 we get $19\geq 15$ which is also true. For the other values we get a negative number which is not a solution.
